Amsterdam’s traditional citywide street markets got underway later than usual this year, but they are now in full flow. Reports from all city districts are that the atmosphere is warm and cheerful.

In the Pijp, it is particularly pleasant around the Albert Cuyp Market and the Sarphatipark, as are the Apollolaan and Beethovenstraat areas. There are also smaller, spontaneous street markets. The Vondelpark is the traditional home of the children’s street market, where it is busy but everyone is in high spirits.

The Museumplein is filling up and presently has approximately 40,000 visitors. It is particularly busy in the area of Paulus Potterstraat. The 3,000 tickets made available for the seated tribunes during the King’s Dance have now sold out.
